Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: I, Huo Yuhao, join the Sun Moon Sect.

Chapter 599 War breaks out
But his words were like pebbles thrown into a lake, sinking without causing the slightest ripple.

Dai Hao remained silent, gazing at the stars in the sky, as if he hadn't heard Dai Yueheng's words.

Seeing this, Dai Yueheng gritted her teeth and continued to persuade him, "Marshal, even for the sake of the Empire, you should rest early and take care of your health so that you will have the energy to deal with the possible attacks launched by those Sun Moon brats!"

Dai Hao withdrew his gaze from the starry sky and walked towards the command tent, with Dai Yueheng immediately following behind.

Without turning his head, Dai Hao asked, "Yueheng, do you think the Sun Moon Empire would send Yuhao to the battlefield if it launched a war?"

Dai Yueheng paused for a moment, then said decisively, "No, no matter what, Yuhao is an extremely talented individual. If I were the Sun Moon Emperor, I would definitely nurture Yuhao well so that he could become a pillar of the Sun Moon Empire in the future."

The battlefield is ever-changing, with too many variables. If something were to happen to Yuhao, wouldn't Kong Deming of the Sun Moon Sect be left without a successor?

Dai Hao abruptly stopped, and Dai Yueheng subconsciously followed his father's action, stopping as well.

Dai Hao turned his head, looked at Dai Yueheng, and said with a smile, "Yueheng, you're right. Yuhao's talent is just too good. It would be a great pity if someone like him died on the battlefield."

However, once the Sun Moon Empire launches a large-scale war, we will surely be able to defeat it again under the leadership of Shrek Academy and march on Mingdu. Perhaps then, these evil Sun Moon bastards will use Yuhao's life to blackmail me, the marshal!
However, by then the tide will have turned, and no matter what, I will make sure Yuhao is recognized as a member of the Dai clan and changes his surname back to Dai!

He was very confident that the Star Luo Empire would defeat the Sun Moon Empire and march on the Ming Dynasty, provided that Shrek Academy, with its profound foundation, would intervene and help the Star Luo Empire.

Shrek Academy has indeed suffered a terrible reputation and weakened its appeal due to a series of negative events. However, because of shared interests, Shrek Academy must stand closely with the Douluo Three Kingdoms to fight against the Sun Moon Empire.

With Shrek Academy's millennia-long history, it's impossible that they wouldn't have some trump cards to deal with the evil Sun Moon Empire. After all, that's an academy that has produced a total of seven gods!

Even though His Majesty believes that Shrek Academy is currently facing significant problems and is unlikely to be able to help the Douluo Three Kingdoms weather a potential war, Dai Hao, as a descendant of the Seven Devils, has great confidence in Shrek Academy.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile.

Dai Yueheng lowered his eyes silently, revealing a hint of displeasure. To be honest, Huo Yuhao was a peerless genius. Once such a person returned to the Duke's mansion, given his father's current thoughts, the other party would inevitably shake his position as heir!
Perhaps Father will choose Huo Yuhao to be the White Tiger Duke! How can that be allowed!

Whether for his deceased mother or for his good-for-nothing brother Dai Huabin who passed away, he had to inherit the title of Duke!
As for his other younger brother, Dai Luoli, his talent is average and he comes from a poor background, so he is not a threat to his position and there is no need to pay too much attention to him.

Of course, he couldn't reveal these thoughts in front of his father. He put on a smile and prepared to praise his father's foresight.

But just as he was about to speak, suddenly, beams of blinding white light rose directly from the other side of the Mingdou Mountains, like meteorites falling to earth. These beams of white light attacked the Xingluo Army Camp at an unimaginable speed.

At this moment, the light emanating from the countless stars was completely obscured by the intense white light.

Both father and son noticed the blinding light and looked up at the sky.

Dai Hao's expression changed drastically. "This is bad! It's an enemy attack! This power... could these white orbs of light be level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannonballs? Even the Sun Moon Empire shouldn't be able to produce so many at once, right?" "Level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannonballs?" Dai Yueheng also tensed up. He was about to praise his father's foresight, but he swallowed the words involuntarily. His handsome face was instantly covered with fear.

According to intelligence, the theoretical power of a level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell is equivalent to the strike of a Limit Douluo. Of course, this thing also has its drawbacks. Compared to a real Limit Douluo strike, it is not only less accurate, but also slower.

Dai Hao didn't pay attention to his son for the time being. He immediately used his soul power and roared, "Enemy attack! Activate the soul guidance defense shield and launch a counterattack!"

There was no other way; the speed of these level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannons was simply too fast for ordinary soul masters. Although with his titled Douluo strength, he could easily escape with Dai Yueheng, not everyone had the protection of a titled Douluo.

Those who couldn't react in time had no chance to escape and could only activate their defenses and choose to counterattack.

Of course, he couldn't possibly run away with Dai Yueheng now.

As the commander-in-chief, he could not possibly run away with his son as soon as the enemy's shells came at him. If he did make such a choice, it would definitely shake the morale of the army.

At the same time, he activated his soul-guided shield, his soul rings swirling and glowing. Golden orbs of light emanated from him and rushed toward the white orbs of light in the sky. He was trying to make these level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannonballs explode in mid-air to minimize casualties among the Star Luo army.

Xuanji Douluo also flew out of the military camp and did the same thing, but it was still to no avail.

Click, click, click!

The Star Luo soldiers on night duty and patrol were all looking panicked. They activated their soul-guided shields, picked up their soul-guided cannons, and fired directly at the white ball of light that was getting closer and closer in the sky, which was becoming increasingly oppressive!
Bang bang bang.

Various colored orbs surged upwards, but to no avail. The white orbs roared in and mercilessly crushed the colored orbs, which then fell to the ground.

Rumble!
The sound of an explosion as loud as thunder resounded throughout the area, and a blazing white light swept through the Xingluo military camp like a whirlwind. Although it was the dead of night, the Xingluo military camp was as bright as day.

As the white light gradually dissipated, dust flew up, the earth trembled and cracked, as if an earth dragon were turning over. The original tents were all reduced to ashes in the explosion.

Everywhere you look, there are severed limbs and wounded people wailing in agony. The air is filled with a pungent smell of blood, which is extremely unpleasant.

"Damn the Sun and Moon Empire! They actually used such a powerful weapon to launch a sneak attack. They are a bunch of beasts!" Dai Hao's eyes reddened. Because of the threat from the Sun and Moon Empire, the Star Luo Army stationed near the Mingdou Mountains was composed of elite troops and was considered part of the White Tiger Duke's family's resources.

However, due to the artillery fire launched by the Sun and Moon, these people suffered heavy casualties, which naturally caused him great distress.

Strangely, the shells seemed to deliberately avoid him. Could it be that a high-ranking official in the Sun Moon Empire had ordered him to be captured alive?
